More From Joseph Addison
- "It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution."
- "No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority."
- "A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence, but sets off every great talent which a man can be possessed of."

- "Color is an intense experience on its own."― Jim Hodges
- "‘Red Knot’ is a film that I shot in Antarctica almost three years ago on a boat. It was a film that was improvised and it had very interesting circumstances while making the film, obviously. We were on a small boat bobbing around in Antarctica. It was a really remarkable experience."― Olivia Thirlby
